It's that time of year again! Since so many people checked out last year's list, I thought I'd do another rundown of the nominations for this year's Golden Globes.
Best Motion Picture — Drama
Holy crap, I haven't seen any of these. In my defense, Hugo and War Horse aren't even out yet and The Descendants just started a week ago. I think. I'm unemployed. I haven't been to the movies as often as usual.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Drama
Glenn Close, Albert Nobbs
Viola Davis, The Help
Rooney Mara, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
Meryl Streep, The Iron Lady
Tilda Swinton, We Need to Talk About Kevin
Same here. I haven't even heard of Albert Nobbs.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture — Drama
George Clooney, The Descendants
Leonardo DiCaprio, J. Edgar
Michael Fassbender, Shame
Ryan Gosling, The Ides of March
Brad Pitt, Moneyball
Did they just decide to go for the same people as usual?
Best Motion Picture — Comedy or Musical
God I hope the Oscar noms don't look like this. I'll be screwed. Maybe I should go ahead and load up my queue with these, just in case.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Comedy or Musical
Jodie Foster, Carnage
Charlize Theron, Young Adult
Kristen Wiig, Bridesmaids
Michelle Williams, My Week With Marilyn
Kate Winslet, Carnage
From what I can tell by the previews, Michelle Williams has got this in the bag. Even though I thought that movie was supposed to be a drama.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture — Comedy or Musical
Jean Dujardin, The Artist
Brendan Gleeson, The Guard
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 50/50
Ryan Gosling, Crazy, Stupid, Love
Owen Wilson, Midnight in Paris
Best Animated Feature Film
I hope Rango wins. That's about all I can do there, since I haven't seen the majority in category. But I thought Rango was way better than Cars 2.

Best Television Series — Drama
"American Horror Story"
"Boardwalk Empire"
"Boss"
"Game of Thrones"
"Homeland"
Ok, we're back on firmer ground here with TV. I've been watching a lot of that recently. I think GoT is the best one, hands down. American Horror Story sucked. I couldn't get past the pilot.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series — Drama
Claire Danes, "Homeland"
Mireille Enos, "The Killing"
Julianna Margulies, "The Good Wife"
Madeleine Stowe, "Revenge"
Callie Thorne, "Necessary Roughness"
Out of all of these, the only one I watched with any regularity was "Revenge" and I don't even think Madeleine Stowe is the best actress on that show.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series — Drama
Steve Buscemi, "Boardwalk Empire"
Bryan Cranston, "Breaking Bad"
Kelsey Grammer, "Boss"
Jeremy Irons, "The Borgias"
Damian Lewis, "Homeland"
I'm going to say Jeremy Irons is taking that trophy because I really liked The Borgias. I know everybody loves Breaking Bad but I haven't seen it yet and I'm like four seasons behind. I love Damian Lewis from "Life" but I thought "Homeland" looked really depressing.
Best Television Series — Comedy or Musical
"Enlightened"
"Episodes"
"Glee"
"Modern Family"
"New Girl"
Glee. I know, I know, I rooted for it last year but I don't watch any of the others and I really hated "New Girl".
Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series — Comedy or Musical
Laura Dern, "Enlightened"
Zooey Deschanel, "New Girl"
Tina Fey, "30 Rock"
Laura Linney, "The Big C"
Amy Poehler, "Parks and Recreation"
Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series — Comedy or Musical
Alec Baldwin, "30 Rock"
David Duchovny, "Californication"
Johnny Galecki, "The Big Bang Theory"

Who is still watching "Hung"? Seriously?

"Downton Abbey"
"The Hour"
"Mildred Pierce"
"Too Big to Fail"
"The Hour"
"Mildred Pierce"
"Too Big to Fail"

Jessica Lange, "American Horror Story"
Kelly MacDonald, "Boardwalk Empire"
Maggie Smith, "Downtown Abbey" (Masterpiece)
Sofia Vergara, "Modern Family"
Evan Rachel Wood, "Mildred Pierce"
I have to say, as much as I didn't like that show, Jessica Lange was creepy as shit as the weird neighbor.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television
Peter Dinklage, "Game of Thrones"
Paul Giamatti, "Too Big to Fail"
Guy Pearce, "Mildred Pierce"
Tim Robbins, "Cinema Verite"
Eric Stonestreet, "Modern Family"
I seriously hope Peter Dinklage wins it. Not just because he was outstanding as Tyrion Lannister, but because I want to see him get a statue as big as he is. ...too far?
